"Another peril of diplomatic life is having to attend local cultural events and pretending to be impressed," Anakin shouted over the sound of drums and some sort of weird horn thing that was being played with great enthusiasm and very little skill by the troupe dressed up in some form of local attire in the Danger Shop behind him. "Today I have five different scenarios that you will have to work through while maintaining a proper diplomatic expression--not laughing, not saying 'ew', and not saying no to any of the weird requests they will make of you."

The drummers behind him got even louder. You lucky, lucky students.

I wouldn't want to make anyone look bad or offend anyone by messing up. And maybe someone could help me make sure I get this here name right? I sure want to make sure I honor them and all of you'uns correctly.

Sometimes the best way to not look like an idiot was to say you were an idiot in a polite way and let them help you.
